Dr. Tarun Kumar Saha — Senior Consultant Nephrologist and Transplant Physician in Hyderabad

Dr. Tarun Kumar Saha is a Senior Consultant Nephrologist and Transplant Physician at Yashoda Hospitals, Somajiguda, in Hyderabad, with more than 32 years of experience. His profile records nephrology together with kidney transplantation.

His list covers chronic kidney disease, diabetic nephropathy and glomerulonephritis, haemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, percutaneous renal biopsy, ABO-incompatible kidney transplantation, and transplant care from pre-transplant evaluation through follow-up and graft dysfunction management. ABO-incompatible transplantation is the part of that list that widens the donor pool, since it allows a transplant to proceed across a blood group barrier that would otherwise rule the donor out.

He holds MBBS, an MD and an MS.

His memberships are unusually complete and each maps to part of his practice. He is a life member of the International Society of Nephrology and the Association of Physicians of India, of the Indian Society of Organ Transplantation for the transplant work, of the Peritoneal Dialysis Society India and the International Society for Hemodialysis for the two forms of dialysis on his list, and of the Indian Medical Association. Holding separate life memberships of a peritoneal dialysis society and a haemodialysis society is a distinction few nephrologists make, and it matches a list that carries both.

His papers have won best paper awards at meetings of the International Society of Nephrology and of The Transplantation Society, and in 2021 the IHW Council gave him its Dronacharya Award. He practises at Yashoda Hospital in Somajiguda, Hyderabad.
